Invisible Solutions Stephen Shapiro

Want to be a better problem solver? What if the solution is to get in the mud?

In this episode, I interview Joe De Sena. He's the founder of Spartan and is the host of CNBC's No Retreat: Business Bootcamp.

This incredibly powerful show puts business people in physically challenging situations as a way of getting them to be more resilient.

This is an episode you won't want to miss.

In this freeform podcast episode, I share my thoughts on my next book: DIVOT.

A divot is a term from golf. It's when you swing at the ball, if you go too deep, a chunk of grass goes flying, and this is a divot.

And that's the premise of the next book - how can we go deep and create more customer value?

Rather than changing direction (pivot) it is about deep value creation.

To celebrate Thanksgiving here in the United States, I decided to share this segment from my book, "Goal-Free Living." Chapter 4 is entitled, "Want What You Have." Instead of looking for more and creating a different future, appreciate what you have now.

This podcast celebrates 20 years since the launch of my first book, 24/7 Innovation. It also marked the time when I left Accenture and started my own innovation business. In honor of this special period in my life, I read the Prologue to that book and share some thoughts on where we have come in the last two decades.

What if instead of thinking outside the box, you want to find a better box?

This is Chapter 4 from Best Practices are Stupid.

We explore the power of Challenge-Centered Innovation and why it leads to higher ROI than idea-driven innovation.

What if asking for ideas is a bad idea? In this episode, I share Chapter 3 from Best Practices are Stupid. In it, we explore why looking for a quantity of ideas can be the downfall of your innovation efforts.
